A speculative design project about the exploration of Mars. The project imagines future sports equipment that will be used in the first Martian Olympics, and considers planetary expansion in terms of cultural colonization.
2020 will see the first humans on Mars, with missions launching from China, NASA and private companies such as SpaceX. With the Martian launch window every 2 years and 2 months, the exploration of Mars continues to attract massive public attention.
Based on existing Mars exploration research and the projected plans of national space agencies, I have imagined a Mars exploration timeline from 2027 to 2060. In this timeline the rapid development of Martian resources controlled by various countries mirrors the race to the moon between the United States and the Soviet Union during the Cold War. In order to avoid further conflict and promote peaceful progress, the first Martian Olympics will be held simultaneously with the 44th Earth Olympics. The significance of interstellar exploration has never been limited to pure scientific research, but rather to International competition for resources, influence and power. At the same time, the Olympic Games have evolved step by step from a pure pursuit of the limits of the human movement into a cathartic demonstration of national strength. In my speculative Martian timeline the years between 2045 and 2049 are deeply unsettling and unstable. The first Martian Olympics is used to promote and re-establish ideals of peace and solidarity.
New sports will be initiated for the first Martian Olympics suited to and facilitated by Mars' specific low-gravity environment. The first of these unique Martian sports will be the 60 meters run on water. For this event specially designed running shoes will be developed utilizing biotechnology inspired by the Basilisk lizard.
